Profile:
He got his chance on the basis of some fine performances around
the domestic circuit. Unfortunately, Somasundar's international
career did not match his deeds on the home front. A gutsy batsman, Somasundar made his first appearence for Karnataka in the 1990-91 season but was never given a regular place in the side for about
four seasons. He really flowered during the 1994-95 season. Having
been pushed into the opening slot, he responded immediately by
scoring a century against Goa. Somasundar then carried on the
fine form next year hitting two centuries and five half centuries
to play a leading role in Karnataka's triumph in the Ranji Trophy.
Somasundar made his debut in the Duleep and Irani Trophy matches
that season but failed to impress in both. But he had done enough
to warrant the nod from the selectors and played in a ODI against
the visiting South African side. He failed and then got another
chance in the Titan Cup match against Australia later that season. Again he failed and that was the end of his all too brief
international career. Rejected by the national selectors,
Somasundar continued to be in good form and in the 1997-98
season, aggregated 629 runs. This was followed by a fine
performance the next year when he helped Karnataka to another
Ranji Trophy triumph by scoring 529 runs. (Natarajan Sriram)
